Heiress Paris Hilton woke up to a start early Tuesday when a Redlands man with prior burglary charges tried to force his way into her Hollywood home.

Publicist Dawn Miller said a man, armed with two kitchen knives tried to break into Hilton’s home about 6:30 a.m. when she was sleeping, but security cameras and an alarm system alerted police, who responded quickly.

Police Officer Bruce Borihanh says police went to the home and found a man in his 30s banging on a door window.

Police arrested Parada for attempted burglary. He was booked at a Van Nuys jail facility. His bail is set at $50,000. Borihanh said it is unclear if Parada was targeting Hilton.

Parada is a Redlands resident who is still facing burglary charges stemming from his alleged break-in July 26 at the Kohl’s department store at 27540 Lugonia Ave. He is accused of trying to steal $14,000 in jewelry.

Police say Parada smashed a window and entered the store, where he collected jewelry while inside.

Redlands police officers responded to the store’s security alarm and arrived to find the smashed window. They looked inside and saw a man running around inside the store, said Lt. Chris Catren.

Police set up a perimeter around the store and waited for the suspect to come out. They say they found the jewelry in his possession. Catren said all of the jewelry came from the department store.

He is charged with felony burglary, grand theft and felony vandalism in the Redlands incident, and is scheduled to be arraigned Sept. 30.

When asked if Parada displayed signs of mental illness during the July 26 arrest, Catren said, “Not really.”

“It was the regular run-of-the-mill smashed window kind of burglary,” he said.

Following his arrest, investigators questioned Parada to see if he had committed other burglaries in Redlands.

“We didn’t find other burglaries in our city that we believe he was responsible for,” Catren said.

Miller released a statement Tuesday afternoon saying Hilton is shaken but unharmed and well after the incident at her home.

“She is very thankful to her security team and the police for their swift and diligent response,” Miller wrote.

Hilton wrote on her Twitter page that she was awakened by the man trying to break into her house.

“So Scary [sic], just got woken up to a guy trying to break into my house holding 2 big knifes [sic],” Hilton wrote.
